dwelling house of Col. w. A. Percy
was burned. 1t was insured in

have had settlements with this
company.

HszOo City Herald.
We would advise all of our readers to
preserve as historical document the
article of DR.. B. f. Ward, of Winona,
on the Old South. No grander or more
correct picture of Southern achievement
has ever been drawn, and it should give
the writer national reputation. We are
amongst those who have adopted the
term New South, not as in any way re-
Hecting upon the Old, whose traditions
we venerate, and whose men and women
were ancestors of whom we have cause
to be proud, but because a new era has
dawned upon the South since the war.
In magnaminity, in nobility of charac-
ter, in dash, in craftsmanship, in mill
tary genius, the South has furnished to
the United States more than its share OF
great men. John G. Calhoun was as
much the greatest intellect of the United
Ststes as Robert f. Lee was the purest,
most exalted type of hero in the pages,
not only of American history, but OF the
world. To-day we believe that the
Southern people are better as rule
than those of any other section OF the
United States. In the North money Ii
the criterion Of merit. In the South
worth. In the halls of Congress ano
the United States Senate millionaire'
are seated by Northern voters. The
South sends men eminent as soldler'
and orators. But to attempt to ado
anything to DIR. Wards article would o.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Mr.. Fontaine was again placed on the
stand and the State continued its cross ex-
animation.
If man can see flash plain at night
he might be able to tell in which direction
the shot is fired. Where only the flash is
seen. not one out of ten people could tell
which way the flashes were going. Had
this experience in the war. If there were
no bushes or distractions in the way, a
man might be able to tell which way a
shot was fired, but to arrive at this conclu-
sion, it would be necessary to see the flash
come from the muzzle of the gun. Was an
old turkey hunter; could not locate a tur-
key by the sound; some people thought
that they could locate a turkey by the
sound but they were wrong; had often tried
it himself and generally missed; when he
missed could tell how far wrong he had
been by the turkey flying off unhurt; could
tell how far he had been wrong by the tlut-
ter of the turkeys wings; this was differ
emit kind OF sound. Had accidentally hit
turkeys firing at the SOUNDS, but this was
| only an accident. Knew that it was an ac-
cident because he had missed. Lives near

The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non Irritating, easy Of application,
reach all the remote sores and liberated
surfaces The history Of the efforts to
treat catarrh during the past few years
obliges Us to admit that only one remedy
has completely met these conditions, and
that Is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and
pleasant remedy mas mastered catarrh as
nothing else has ever done, and both ply
sieians and patients freely eoncede this
TACT. The most distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it.
